Only 12 cases in our trial underwent investigations for anti-Sp100 and anti-gp210 by immunoblotting. Note. PLT, platelet count; TB, total bilirubin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; AST, aspartate aminotransferase; ALT, alanine aminotransferase; ALB, albumin; GLB, globulin; GGT, γ-glutamyltransferase; IGM, immunoglobulin M; CHOL, cholesterol; PT, prothrombin time; APRI, aspartate aminotransferase/platelet ratio index; FIB-4, fibrosis index based on the four factors; AMA, antimitochondrial antibody; MND, multiple nuclear dots; RL/M, rim-like/membranous. |
